Holy burnt wood Batman! That lamp is killer! I'm taking out a second mortgage just to by up all the raffle tickets. Yeah, I know I could just buy another lamp from Ken with that money, but I like winning stuff! |

Polynesiac, I live in Carson, which is just a 10-minute drive up the 110 fwy from you, (or less). I can't leave the house tonight, but if you want to drop it by, I'd be happy to take it up to the crawl. I can P.M. you directions to my house if that works. Sabu. |

I know, I know, please no more calls, there's a a huge demand for me to raffle the penis carving, but really folks, the wife would get bent if I gave it away. As it is I'm taking a lot of heat for just bringing it, (she wants to lock it up and put it in a drawer). This trip we will highlight the many capacities of the 4 footer. Somes uses are: Battering ram for breaking down doors, best friend, (it was Poly Pop but not anymore), chick trap, etc. Don't miss out, there will be lots of fun for the whole family. Please be on the lookout for wannabes and impersonators. Just think, IT could be your best friend. |

Man, oh man: I know I don't have to sell this raffle anymore, but I have to post a picture of this. This was generously donated by our own SES, jewelry maker and goldsmith, all the way out in Rhode Island. Check it out! It's Tiki Bob in sterling silver with a 14k gold eye. You must see to believe! The texture on Bob is incredible. Thank you SES!!!!!!! |

"sacred ceremonial vessels " Yikes, Pup...Those containers alone are better than what I donated, wow. Great, great stuff. I likes Tiki Bob too, I'd probably wear it on my belly chain. I'll be sure to wear a belly-shirt tomorrow just in case I get lucky (or win a raffle item), and will shave appropriately... it is Vic's we're talking about. I never win anything. There, said it, got it out of the way. Now, maybe some reverse psychology/mojo will work on my usual dismal luck. Probably not... |

The texture is done by roller printing the annealed sheet metal with grasscloth so the grasscloth pattern ends up on the metal. |

We WON!!! the Monkey Man Tiki Bob frame! woo hoo! I SAID WOO, HOO! I want to thank John Ravitch, who is Otto and Doe's former upstairs neighbor, who was at TV's and had to leave, and gave us his tickets, which won the Bob frame. I told him if we won anything good we'd share. FAT CHANCE! Mr. Pineapple Bot is NOT giving up that frame! And we don't have to name the baby Martin or Hanford! A good time was had by all, really nice stuff was had by a few! mrs. pineapple |

The planets aligned into a strange configuration of dumb luck or pity, and team midnite actually won something. Of course, we won a Tiki bowl/mug... but a very stylin' Von Franco bowl at that. Weeee! A few lucky patrons made out like bandits, there were some very nice prizes indeed. Friday at Vic's as good fun, nice to see some old TC'ers and meet some new ones. Special treat was meeting a few long time TC members for the first time. Always good to spend some time with our illustrious and enigmatic proprietor Hanford "HL" Lemoore (if that was really him and not of several look-alikes). Still, I have to say a personal highlight of the evening was meeting the infamous Koalacharms. The Mai-Kai Gents put on a good show, and Emeryville Vic's was its usual first-rate operation. Specific kudos to Martin and Rebecca for their masterful raffling (?) efforts. midnite |

Polynesiac, we were also the lucky winners of your tiki! We love it and are thrilled to have it....it'll be going on a little adventure soon... A huge mahalo to you both for the donations! |
